MEGAMALL
Produced and directed by Vera Aronow, Sarah Mondale and Roger Grange
Our opening documentary offers a provocative look at one of America’s biggest malls, our own Palisades Center Mall, and reveals how money, power and politics have changed our landscape.
You'll see how big money overwhelmed our local government, zoning and planning boards to impose a massive development project here, extract millions and move on -- leaving our local community to bear the costs of road maintenance, increased crime and shuttered stores in downtown areas.
It's a gripping story designed to give communities around the country the tools they need to understand the forces propelling growth.
One of the filmakers will be here to speak.
